Codes, exemptions & field inspections
Build to the adopted code. Verify every exception.
This guide translates the available agency record into a preconstruction checklist for structural scope, minor work, and inspection release. The adopted code and the issuing official control when a field condition is disputed.
Inspection lane
Contact Planning and Zoning Administrator Trevor Nekoliczak at (308) 428-9924. The building-permit application directs applicants to contact Howard Greeley RPPD at (308) 754-4457 regarding setback inspection; no online inspection scheduler is published.
Minor-work playbook
Understand what may be exempt—and what is not.
Agricultural buildings on farmsteads of 20 acres or more producing at least $1,000 in annual farm products still require a zoning permit under Section 10.25. No separate minor or cosmetic exemption list is published.
Field rule
A permit exemption generally addresses one narrow construction trigger. It does not automatically waive zoning, land-use, floodplain, shoreline, fire, energy, electrical, utility, septic, or right-of-way requirements. Obtain written confirmation when the project involves a new structure, structural alteration, change in occupancy, or concealed work.

Do not cover framing, reinforcement, wiring, piping, damp-proofing, or life-safety work until the required inspection has been completed and documented.
- 3
Close the record
Retain the approved plans, inspection approvals, correction responses, and final certificate or occupancy release with the property file.
Contractor verification
Verify the builder before the contract is signed.
Use the state licensing system to verify active registration, trade credentials, bond status, and liability coverage where available. Match the legal business name to the proposal and permit application.
Planning reference
Keep the parcel rules beside the building plans.
A building permit is only one part of statutory compliance. Check the local zoning, ordinance, map, or land-use reference before finalizing setbacks, height, lot coverage, access, drainage, or accessory structure placement.
